FirstLight Fiber, a leading fiber-optic bandwidth infrastructure services provider operating in New York and Northern New England, announced today that Derry Medical Center, the oldest and largest independent, primary care Family Practice in New Hampshire, has selected FirstLight for a significant network upgrade across its entire facility, which includes five locations in the towns of Derry, Londonderry, and Windham, New Hampshire. In addition to fiber-based Internet connectivity, FirstLight provides the medical center reliable voice services.

FirstLight’s dedicated, symmetrical Internet service combines high connection speeds with a unique, industry-leading design that enables FirstLight to offer a superior solution. The service is backed by a combination of Tier 1 provider connections and numerous in-region private peering connections, which reduces hop counts and improves the overall user experience.

“Derry Medical Center has over 35 providers and a base of more than 45,000 patients in its network. Within the medical center there are three primary care offices, a Wellness & Fitness Center, a business office, IT department, and diagnostic imaging centers (full-service and satellite). For more than a decade, we’ve been highly satisfied with FirstLight’s fiber-based services,” commented Susan Chadwick, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Derry Medical Center. “When the time came for a network upgrade, FirstLight was the obvious choice for ensuring excellent, high speed services, backed by always-attentive, personalized customer support.”

FirstLight provides a comprehensive portfolio of secure, scalable, high reliability telecommunications solutions and knowledgeable staff experienced in working with the healthcare industry to support advanced telemedicine applications for multi-site institutions.

“We greatly appreciate Derry Medical Center’s decade of loyalty to FirstLight. It’s our privilege to continue offering our comprehensive solutions to such a well-known and respected institution,” stated Kurt Van Wagenen, President and CEO of FirstLight Fiber. “As Derry Medical Center continues to grow, we will be ready to support their networking needs.
